Allied Services joined forces with Rev. Myron Myronyuk, leader of St. Vladimir Ukrainian Catholic Church in Scranton, to give rehabilitation equipment and medical supplies for the well-being of injured Ukrainian soldiers. The equipment will be included in a shipment of supplies going to Ukraine with the help of St. Vladimir Ukrainian Church and its associates. Rev. Myron leads the congregation of Ukrainian parishes in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Berwick.
A shipping container from New Jersey arrived at the warehouse at Allied Services in Taylor for loading on Jan. 25.
Allied Services, a non-profit rehabilitation provider, contributed lightly used rehabilitation equipment such as stationary bikes, treadmills, and parallel bars. The donation, valued at tens of thousands of dollars, also contained hospital beds, gowns, walkers, wheelchairs, and other supplies.
The donation will help rehabilitation centers that are working with Ukrainian soldiers injured since the war began in 2022.
